We hopped over here after my wedding last weekend and the bartender, Nick, was awesome! He gave me and my new husband a little cheers and didn't mind that our wedding party took over the bar. He politely but effectively shoo-ed out a very drunk person who was bothering our group. I'd come back just to see Nick! Thanks again!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting AWOL, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by the fantastic bartender, Eli, who truly made my night unforgettable.

Eli's warm and friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease. Not only did he provide exceptional service, but he also took the time to explain the menu in great detail. His knowledge and passion for mixology shone through, making it a breeze to choose the perfect drink to accompany my evening.

Speaking of the menu, I simply cannot recommend the chicken lime quesadilla enough. It was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was top-notch. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness, leaving me craving more.

AWOL itself boasts a great vibe and an ideal location. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and have a great time. Whether you're looking for a place to catch up with friends or just enjoy a night out, this bar has something for everyone.

Overall, my experience at AWOL was nothing short of amazing. The combination of Eli's exceptional service, the mouthwatering chicken lime quesadilla, and the inviting ambiance made for an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend visiting AWOL for a fun-filled night out. You won't be disappointed!

AWOL leads a double life.In one life, it is a small bar that serves cocktails and tasty Mexican food. Meeting some friends fun and food? AWOL fits the bill.But in its other life, it offers a venue that can host small yet special events like my wedding.As a location, AWOL offers up a good space but what makes it a great destination is Alex Marin (the owner) and his staff. Alex and his crew took the planning of our wedding into their capable hands, turning our dreams of a beautiful wedding, bringing those dreams into reality!If you are searching for a place for a drink with your friends AWOL fits the bill. But if finding that special locale for that very special gathering of family and friends, contact AWOL. You’ll be glad that you did!

Parking: Parking at the DMV (after business hours) is free.

Great place, we're regulars. The events are fun, the drinks are strong and the food is delicious. Come in for brunch or taco Tuesday, you'll have a good time.

Everything was amazing! Bartender Keith made us the best Old Fashioned with peach bitters. Just came in today for taco Tuesday. We had the cochinita pork, chicken lime, and veggie tacos. As well as chips, salsa, and guacamole. Everything we had was **chef’s kiss** The guacamole was chunky and had the perfect amount of spice (nothing crazy). The house made hot sauce was perfectly spicy and equally flavorful. Prices are below average especially in this area. Service was friendly and welcoming. Drinks were strong and delicious.
